15TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS 15th - 20th September 200, Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy |
The 15th Annual Conference in Riva del Garda of EAA is one of the most controversial social meetings of early 21st century. It was a result of terrifying corruption during the approval of the sessions for the meeting as a result of which most important sessions were not in the program. Although with a series of presentations, I do not recommend the participation at this meeting to be accounted as an achievement, especially within competition of grants of young archaeologists. The organization gave string arguments that connections, personal interests of the so-called Scientific committee and non-ethics had underlaid all the Conference. However, I do feel EAA as very important for European Archaeology and despite some present leaders like Dr Eszter Banffy and Dr Peter Biehl (I have been still waiting for the reviews of my proposed session, dear colleagues!), we may believe that it has a good and respectful future in our social environment.
